PTA will be selling Seuss related items after school every day of Read Across America to fundraise toward a DGE field day at the end of the school year.

Each class was asked to create posters for Read Across America and my students were very excited to do so! Here are their creations. I would like to thank PTA for donating the poster boards. The kids had a blast!

Thank you for reading and commenting! I can’t take credit for the ideas how ever. We have a Read Across America committee of teachers that determined the events and I am merely helping to disseminate the information so that as many students participate as possible. It is a fun week for sure! 🙂
